Iowahawk steals my team’s fight song as the title of the president’s inspiring speech to the Iranian people.
It’s OK, with the new coach, the Wolverines won’t be using it much this year anyway.
Also, here are some more “expressions of concern” down the ages:
On the Sack of Rome: “Any time a major urban area is plundered so quickly, it is concerning to us. We are sure the Gauls and Chieftain Brennus understand Roman worries about the utter devastation of their city.”
On Cambodia: “Though intellectuals ourselves, we will not take sides or meddle in the sovereignty of another nation. We expect all slaughter of civilians and intellectuals in the killing fields to be performed in accordance with the norms of international law, and hope that as little blood as possible is shed by both sides in the ongoing massacre. We are eager for this crisis to come to a rapid end so that we may reengage with the Pol Pot regime without preconditions.”
Reminds me of George HW Sr. and the Iraqi Shia.
I really would’ve liked to have seen Denard get at least 10 reps in there where we rolled him out of the pocket and had him hit those short simple outs and slants. The reason I called it nitpicking in the original column is that I think it would’ve become even more ugly had we thrown the ball any more than we did yesterday, so I think the staff found themselves in a tough position of wanting to get everyone on the field while not putting up a basketball score. I also think we were bound and determined to not show any new wrinkles whatsoever to Penn State, including whether or not Denard has been throwing more with the offense in practice. That goes directly against my theory of “in-game experience is invaluable”, but it also makes some sense.
